Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers
have reportedly joined the race to sign Viktoria Plzen Nigerian striker Rafiu Durosinmi in the January transfer window.

Durosinmi, a former player with Box2box academy in Nigeria, has scored nine goals for Plzen this season, including six in nine league games.

According to the Telegraph, Wolves have held talks with Plzen this week over a possible deal having scouted the striker.

It is reported that Plzen are demanding £10million for the forward, while personal terms are thought to be an issue at this stage.

Durosinmi is currently recovering from knee ligament surgery, after sustaining the injury during a match against Slovan Liberec on October 21.

The injury has forced the 20-year-old to miss Plzen’s last six matches and could keep him out for another month.

Meanwhile, Mail Sport had earlier reported that Brighton were among the teams to be interested in striker.

Also, he has also attracted attention from German the Bundesliga sides Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart.
